i'm a psychobiology/premed student at UCLA and i do a lot of research on women with eating disorders. sometimes i see the craziest situations in which some of the women weigh 60 pounds. i have no idea how some of these women are even walking around.
that said, i know that food causes many anorexics a great deal of anxiety. have you thought about therapy? i understand if you've tried to recover and failed, but destroying your health because you aren't willing to try again is a bit extreme. if you aren't going to do anything about your anorexia, at least take a few different vitamin and mineral complexes. usana (http://www.usana.com/en/products/us) has amazingly potent vitamins and minerals.
at least you've realized that there's a problem. nobody wants to be unhealthy, but the media puts pressures to be thin to an unhealthy degree. it's not right, and people need to understand that not everyone is cut out to look like a rail-thin model.
